Whatever people want, let them have it. It doesn't matter to me what they prefer, just as long as they don't force me to eat it.

You sir are right, good steaks are bland. I don't understand why people enjoy good food either. Fscking idiots.

You disagree with his opinion so that makes him an idiot? :confused:

I implied that all people who like good food are idiots.

Oatmeal is on the house tonight boys!

by and large, this is mostly true.

Guess I'm wasting my time posting this on OT.

Female, and I think of Smeagol/Golem (sp?) when I eat steak: "Give it to me raw and wriggling!" Ribeye is my favorite, and I cook a nice thick Ribeye maybe two minutes per side. I eat my steak practically raw, and none of my male friends eat it the way I do.

Me. I DETEST undercooked meat. I can handle medium well, if it's TRULY medium well...but most places cook a medium-well steak by holding it under their arms until it's lukewarm and then slapping it on a plate.

Absolutely NO blood, very little LIGHT pink left, is the ONLY way I can eat meat. At all.

i order steaks/burgers medium-well because I don't trust the cook, and generally, most places won't even offer to go below medium...because they don't trust their own cooks

Exactly. Too much judgement in this thread.

Yea really. Order your steak the way you want it, let them order their steak the way they want it, and shut the fuck up about it.

1. Medium
2. Why pay $30 for a steak when you can get the same one made at home for $7? Have something else on the menu.

:confused:
$30 is an amount everyone on this forum is familiar with, except you. You wouldn't happen to be our former president would you?

he said worth 30.

Yes, i get it. Obv you don't either.

obviously i'm an idiot

No, JohnCU and I both get what growled is trying to say. I've never seen a steak worth 30 dollars to me either growled.

Seen plenty of steaks that COST 30 dollars. Eaten several steaks that COST 30 dollars. None worth it.

Yup, that's why I usually get some big sloppy burger at a restaurant. I never have the variety of ingredients around to make such a burger.

No. This detachment from food, bathing everything in condiments and burning it to a crisp and suggesting that everyone can get what they want, always, has created a generation of picky eating, annoying ninny nanny wimps who start ordering sandwiches with the crust cut off the bread and cut into triangles like mommy made. People like this are prisoners of their own hangups and closed-mindedness and essentially abandon the ability to travel anywhere in the world and savor the cuisine of different cultures without a second thought. And if the thought of touring asia and africa and eating the food doesn't appeal to you, then enjoy your Hardees and Applebees in your stripmalls, I guess.

*** you also have collectively made restaurant menus bland, tasteless and watered down and riddled with options and caveats. You're making good food universally worse because restaurant owners are forced to cater to your pathetic obsessions to stay in business.

How are picky eaters annoying? I would say that people who care how others eat their own food have to be at least as annoying if not more. I seriously don't see how it matters how someone likes their food, it has no affect on me enjoying mine.

No, no, you have to eat whatever food they serve you the way they feel like serving it even though you're the one paying for it.

because when choosing a place to go to meet a bunch of people, people always try and find a place that the picky eater wont starve to death because he wont try anything new, so instead of going to sushi or indian, we go to applebees :|

Obviously, cooking adds flavor. Cooking less adds less flavor. If your steak is dry and tough when well-done, well, you got a bad steak/cut.
